About country

Antigua and Barbuda is a sovereign island country in the Caribbean, located in the Lesser Antilles. The nation consists of two main islands, Antigua and Barbuda, along with several smaller islets. Its history is marked by indigenous settlements, followed by European colonization, initially by Spain and later by Great Britain. Today, the economy relies heavily on tourism, particularly luxury tourism, and financial services. The islands boast beautiful beaches, a tropical climate, and a rich cultural heritage.
